Funny, But Not

Start a rumor in the state of Texas

And watch the state go crazy.

Some Texans' capacity for rational thought

Is becoming increasingly hazy.

 

Paranoid conservatives in Texas fear

A U.S. military plot--

A government takeover of the state--

Which leaves them horribly distraught.

 

That martial law will be imposed

Is one of their major concerns.

"Just like Nazi Germany," they say.

The paranoia churns.

The paranoid ones vehemently insist

The government has set its sights

On denying certain citizens of

Their constitutional rights.

 

Walmart stores--they add--will close

For use as internment camps.

For such a display of complete foolishness,

These Texans are the champs.

 

Ted Cruz and Louie Gohmert--

Who basically haven't a clue--

Joined the governor's call to prevent

The military coup.

 

The whole idea is quite hilarious.

How did they ever conceive it?

The scary thing is seeing how many

Gullible people believe it.
